As much as I've searched, I cannot find any reference to this project on the forums so I thought I'd post it for those that may be interested.

I think it looks great.

Last chance to grab this great looking book. It's hit all its stretch goals so what you actually get for just £25 is the following swag;

What I'm amazed by is the support this book has gotten, not that many kickstarter project get £130,000 in backing specially just a book, kinda proves there is still serious interest and money in amiga world.

Wow, that surely was fast.

I guess everyone who bought one of those, could easily sell them for double the price, and even more.

Technically the signed version for £75 nearly made it to the end of the 2nd day but yes the unsigned £60 pledge didn't last beyond the first day!

I am looking forward to both this and the C64 book. Still contemplating the upgrade to the hardback version before I fill in my survey

My book arrived today and it's ...

AWESOME!



It's a great tribute to our favourite machine and after a quick skim through I can see the Deluxe Paint section is well presented with quotes from artists and a synopsis of its importance. The full page reproduction of the Pinball Dreams cover and the Alien Breed level map both look particularly beautiful as does the Batmobile screenshot from Batman the Movie. I can't wait to listen to the Shadow of the Beast Remix Album, put up my Another World poster, decide where to stick my "I ♥ C= Amiga" sticker, use my bookmark in my re-read of 'On the Edge' and house my Amiga pen next to my 'miggy My wife thinks I'm a bit bonkers and still hasn't got her head around Kickstarter but she thought it was cool that my name is in the book and she was reassured there are other Amiga fans who backed it too

It was great to rip off the cellophane and smell that new book smell after a hard day at work! Thank you Sam Dyer, Bitmap Books, all the contributors and the backers!

Probably a nice book and gawd you seem like a hysterical teenager.

Do it say anything about your imaginary Amiga, the very expensive AmigaOne that need an emulator to run Amiga software?

And by the way my AmigaTwo can run DPaint in HAM8 but cost only a fraction of this A1 nonsense.

Cool specially the SOTB CD and the Amiga C> sticker,other things are good too.

Who will win these prizes?

I think I can make it on another year.

I think Out Run and Operation Stealth deserves attention too.

No, because it's a book about the Commodore Amiga line of computers and focuses primarily their games/software. Commodore went bust in 1994 so the book covers the period from Hi-Toro's Amiga development up to Commodore's demise in 1994.

P.S. I don't own an AmigaOne only classic Amigas so this book is perfect for me.

My book arrived yesterday and I agree it is awesome!

Absolutely amazing book and I love all the little extras too (think I will keep them bagged up to ensure they stay in good condition for as long as possible).

Loved the smell of the book too (almost as much as the smell I get from opening a new boardgame!).

Cant wait for the Viva Amiga documentary and the from bedroom to billions documentary on the Amiga as well.

Well done and a great big thank you too all involved in the creation of this awesome book

@Hillbillylitre

Oh does Mac support its old apps...... answer no, this can only be done via an emulation software.

SO why be so critical about the AmigaOne emulation layer.

@thread

I'm a AmigaOne owner who too supported this Kickstater project.

Received my book yesterday, haven't read it yet but like the dedication to Edgar on the front.

Yeah, it was a nice tribute. I just had to save that sticker off the cellophane and stuck it to the back of the dust cover
